Swingin' it, Durrrr Style

We picked up the action on table 12 just as the player in the big blind, along with Jesper Hogaard, Tom Dwan and another player in middle position went four ways into a raise pot on a flop of {8-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {5-Hearts} . The big blind checked to Hogaard who led out for 4,200; Dwan then raised to 17,000 and both the middle position player and the big blind got out of the way.

After about 90 seconds, Hogaard called, then both players checked the turn of the {3-Diamonds} before Hogaard checked his option again after the river of the {7-Spades} . Dwan stared Hogaard down intensely for what seemed like almost three minutes before he fired out a bet of 24,200.

Hogaard didn't budge. "I'm all in."

Dwan's jaw nearly hit the floor.

"You said all-in?" Dwan exclaimed before mucking his hand with a sigh. It hasn't gotten easier for Dwan since then, as Hogaard's just taken another pot from him to put the American online phenom on less than 60,000 in chips.
